A park bench in Boston Public Garden spontaneously becomes a fan-made memorial to Robin Williams

A bench overlooking the lake in Boston Public Garden, famously featured in Good Will Hunting, overnight has become a memorial to the late Robin Williams.

Beginning sometime late last night, and culminating into dozens paying their respects, residents of the Boston area brought flowers, kind words and chalk to a shooting location of the 1998 film. Williams had won his only Academy Award for his portrayal as therapist Sean Maquire, a character that gave him many iconic lines and touching monologues, one of which he delivered on this very bench. Heartbroken over the actor's death, dozens of fans inscribed thoughts of prayer and memorable lines, spoken by Williams in his film roles, on the bench and the sidewalk surrounding it.

Good Will Hunting stars Matt Damon as math-prodigy Will Hunting as he struggles to re-evaluate his relationships when he is forced to endure government-ordered therapy sessions with psychologist Dr. Sean Maguire (Williams).
